The Roles that never happened for John Belushi


The Roles that never happened for John Belushi
Make sure to check out the massive post over at split-sider, because some the roles within their list I’ve knew he was up for.  There are a few un-filmed projects that were supposed to star him, but never got off the ground after his death.    
Here are a few I wanted to take note of in my post.
Arthur (1981):  I can’t see John playing the role of Arthur.  I can’t see anyone but Dudley Moore doing the role.  Belushi would have brought a different vibe. 
Ghostbusters (1984):  This is one of them I’ve heard about.  Again, I couldn’t see anyone other than Bill Murray in the role.  Murray brought a slacker smart guy sense to the role. 
Spies Like Us (1985):  I could see John in this role and probably would have been better than Chevy Chase.

Armond White loves Jonah Hex and hates Toy Story 3. (is it BS?)

Image
Wow, Armond White does it again: He proves he’s a douche bag, but a clever douche bag. Mr. White gave a negative review of the critically praised film Toy Story 3 and gave a down right glowing review of Jonah Hex. Hex is a film that is current at a 14% on Rotten Tomatoes. It just goes to prove he truly is a contrarian in the extremist form. He’s not doing this out of pure bad taste or opinion, but he’s clearly making these contrartian reviews to get a rise out of people. The kicker is that it is working. Armond White is no idiot, but he does thrive on negative attention. Toy Story 3 had an 100% freshness on Rotten Tomatoes until he and another reviewer came along. He knew his review would make it in the history books for knocking down TS3. I was going to sit on the sidelines and let this guy do his shit storm swirling, but I can’t take it anymore. Aft er Reading his laughable review of Jonah Hex, I had to type something about it. You really have to read ...

Gamer gate some points

Gamergate With this story developing with every second and people quitting their jobs. I wanted to put my two cents in this story with some bullet points. - Stop the death threats: If you're one of these asshole attacking either side with rape or death threats, please stop. This doesn't further the discussion and actually hurts both sides of the argument. We can't have a good discussion about this issue unless we distance ourselves from these assholes on both sides. And, make no mistake BOTH sides have crazy people wanting to cause harm. It needs to stop, so cooler heads can talk about this shit. - No more copyright claims or false flags as attacks : I already wrote about this. - If you disagree with Anita Sarkeesian, stop threatening her: It only serves to strengthen the stereotype that gamers are creepy neck-bearded white guys that just want a “Dongs only” club. Anita's claims and videos have poor stances and one-sided views, MAKE a counter v...

Daisy Summers/Daisy Haze is a Star Wars fan

Image
Uh, You know you're a geek...when you notice a pornstar's tattoo is a Star Wars  tattoo.  Yep, instead of noticing the extremely cute pornstar Daisy Haze, I noticed she has a Star Wars tattoo. It is the rebel alliance symbol. Forget about she's an attractive lady, she's a Star Wars fan. She's so much of a fan that she took the time to paint it permanently on her body. Even I won't put a Star Trek tattoo branded on my butt. If I were a male pornstar, and I saw that symbol on her. I'd keep hearing "Stay on target,  Stay on target!"  Plus, I'd keep having sight of Porkins in my head every time despite the fact she NOTHING like Porkins.  Damn it.  Sorry, this is not what I want in my head! Yes, this is sad. I am more interested in her SW tattoo than the fact she's cute and gets paid to be naked all the time. I really need to get out more... Yes, ladies, I am more likely to notice your Batman/Su...
